Also appearing as special guest singer on this album is the acclaimed At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg, who shared vocal duties on “The Mark Of The Beast Part 1” and sang exclusively on “The Mark Of The Beast Part 2”.
SALEM also did a rendition of one of Bob Marley’s most recognizable song - “Exodus”; giving it their own unique but nevertheless an aggressive touch with their version of the song.

Playing God
"Playing God And Other Short Stories" was recorded at Harold Studios in Israel and mastered by UE Nastasi at the prestigious Sterling Sound NYC.
On the explanation of the album artwork for "Playing God And Other Short Stories", SALEM skinsman Nir Nakav states:
“The cover is based around Adinkra, a West African symbol system. The symbol we used is called Gye Nyame and it means "Except for God". This unique and beautiful symbol is ubiquitous in Ghana. It is by far the most popular for use in decoration and also a reflection on the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people."
Israel's premier metal act, Salem, who recently left Season of Mist has signed a record deal
with Pulverised Records from Singapore.
The band released the following statement to the local and international press; "We are thrilled to join the Pulverised team.
The label is very attentive to our needs and puts us as a top priority act. It is something we have been yearning
for for years.
We feel confident that together we can achieve goals that have alluded us in the past few years."
The band's 7th album "Playing God" is scheduled to be released mid 2010 and will include 12 scorching new tracks
from the band, one of which is the head turning cover of Bob Marley's "Exodus".
More info at: PULVERISED RECORDS!

Salem has been working on new material. One new tune in particular, called "Heartbeat" is a 13 minute long percussive ordeal that our drummer can not yet play from start to finish in one take. He thought it would be interesting to let you try to nail down a song that has not yet been recorded so drummers worldwide; follow this link, download the drum chart pdf and have a go at this tune.
HEARTBEAT

Nir Nakav, Salem's drummer, has uplaoded to his personal MySpace page his own unique version of one of the first drum hits of the 60s "Wipeout" (originally recorded by the Surfaris and written in a flash by their drummer Ron Wilson). Nir's version says hello to other great tracks that influenced Nir in his lifetime so look out for bits of Bonham's Rock and Roll, Deftones' Around the Fur, Toto's Rosanna, Slayer and Carcass. Spoken word is provided by Nir's son, Haim (4.5 years old).
On guitar and bass; Guy Be'er who is well known in Israel as the guitar player of the platinum selling act "Hayehudim" (The Jews). Guitars and bass were recorded by Daniel Brecher (the other guitar player of "Hayehudim" while the drum track was recorded as one take during a session in Rimon's studio. Rimon is a prestigious college for music in Israel out of which many national artists graduated in recent years. Guy and Nir are on the staff in Rimon, teaching the new generation of players the pleasures of metal.

was chosen by Russian viewers as the top video of January, the count in the Russian video parade is daily and the video was number one the entire month.
During February the channel states that the video was among the top ten videos of the month.
This achievement is astonishing as the channel features thousands of videos by artists such as Britney Spears, Madonna, System of a Down and Metallica.
MUSIC BOX REPORT:
Salem was in the top 10 for 2 months on Music Box Russia (International channel)
During the First month Salem was No. 1 on the top 10 for the first month.
Deuring the second month Salem was still on the Top 10.

Salem released another video off their second release "Kaddish" (1994), available now as a free download through the V i d e o s S e c t i o n.
The cover song "Ha'ayara Bo'eret" (The Town is on Fire) was written in 1928 and has since been identified with the holocaust.
The Israeli parliament originally banned the broadcast of the video, claiming a Metal cover of such sensitive material was inappropriate.
After discussions at the parliament , the band proved that this song was more than just a gimmick (most band member's grandparents were Holocaust survivors), the ban was removed and the video was broadcasted on national television. This video is also available on Salem's latest DVD "Live Demise".

We'd like to bring to your attention that the music for "Al Taster" is not traditional, which is what we thought at the time we recorded "Collective Demise". This beautiful melody was written by Mr. Reuben Sirotkin.

Salem played a wonderful show on April 1st, in front of over 1,000 people. The show lasted 2.5 hours and featured 2 special guests: Idan from the mythological band People on percussion and guest vocalist and Amir Naubach, Salem's former drummer, as guest vocalist as well. Salem would like to thank the local crowd who went nuts for almost 3 hours and didn't want to let the band leave the stage. You are our fuel ! ! ! Pictures

The Salem tour that was scheduled for late October has been postponed. It'll most likely take place in March. Here's the email we got from our promotions department at System Shock.
Hi ze?ev,
Here?s just a short update as I talked to the booking agency. they now start the pre-booking with the clubs. The tour will take place in MARCH, from the beginning of march for at least 2 weeks, if they have good response it might become 3 weeks. The guy from the agency is feeling very positive about the tour because so far he got good reactions when he told the clubs that he will book salem soon. The tour will also feature MASTER so that?s a good point because I wanted to have Paul Speckmann on your tour anyway because he is very experienced with tour life in europe.
I hope these are good news for you!!!
current addition (TBC this week):
the tour will be officially presented by LEGACY MAGAZINE.
cheerz,
Tom
